Replies suggest that PSYC 375 is “pure hell” and “absolute hell.” One student clarified that it’s about the history of psychology, and other students said it requires memorizing the textbook, including some unimportant details.

What’s it like to take a lab at AU? A student asks about the BIOL207 lab to be taken at AU. A student who had taken a lab at AU five years ago indicated that it involved ten students and a lovely course coordinator who was excited about the course material. The lab work involved microscopes and PCR testing. The lab lasted five days, from 9 AM to 4 PM daily. The cost was $50 per day, including a private room with a washroom, shared showers, and a shared kitchen.
